In the cerebellar sub-type of multiple system atrophy (MSA-C) glial cytoplasmic inclusions first involve subcortical cerebellar white matter and brainstem cerebellar projections with later involvement of additional brain regions and neurodegeneration. The study contributes to determining whether prion-like propagation of misfolded proteins along anatomical pathways may be important in MSA.
